The Delta property is positive if the mouse wheel is moved upward or forward (away from the user) or negative if the mouse wheel is moved downward or backward (toward the user).

This event is raised even for small mouse wheel movements. For some scenarios, it is appropriate to implement handlers that throttle small mouse wheel deltas by checking whether the delta exceeds a certain threshold. Otherwise, you might invoke your handler for cases where the mouse wheel delta was so small that any UI that is tied to the mouse wheel movement would not update. Exactly how you implement the threshold behavior in a handler and what that threshold should be is entirely implementation-specific.
